Lobbying Governance

Indra’s disclosures largely focus on general climate-strategy oversight but provide only limited insight into how any lobbying or policy-advocacy activity is governed. The company states that it "is not aware of having collaborated with any type of organisation whose objective could be understood to be political influence" and that, when it does interact with governments or associations, "it is careful to ensure that their lobbying activities conform to the same principles of cooperation and transparency that are set out in Indra’s own Code of Ethics and Legal Compliance." This reference shows an intention to align any engagement with internal ethical standards, but there is no accompanying description of a formal monitoring or review procedure that would demonstrate how such alignment is checked in practice. Oversight bodies that are well described for climate strategy—the Board, Sustainability Committee and Chief Strategy Officer—are not explicitly tasked with reviewing lobbying consistency, and the company “is committed to complying with the legislation in force regarding transparency of lobbying activities,” which points to legal compliance rather than an internal governance mechanism. No information is provided on systematic reviews of trade-association positions, criteria for joining or exiting associations, board sign-off on advocacy positions, or publication of a lobbying-alignment report. Consequently, while there is a stated commitment to keep any lobbying in line with the Code of Ethics, the absence of detailed processes, responsible parties, or evidence of active monitoring indicates only limited governance over climate-related lobbying activities.
